By closing gaps in financial literacy, we enable women to drive growth for themselves and their communities,” he said.
Tunde-Anjous added that the programme also addresses gender balance and demystifies common myths around investment risks by providing direct access to experienced women who have successfully navigated similar financial journeys.
